Your Baby, Week 30

It’s time to sit up and take notice of yet another milestone.

Between six and eight months, your baby will learn to sit up without your help! He may lean forward on his hands for some support, though.

If you’re thinking that now might be a good time to purchase a walker for your baby, think again. Most experts recommend against walkers, since they can be a safety hazard. They also don’t help your baby develop the muscles and coordination necessary for walking. Read about alternatives.

Once your little one can stand, instead try a push-car that he can hold on to and walk behind.
